The towboat pilots connected with the

The matter Of wages wa taken up and dis
cussed pretty freely. The great object, as
we understand il, was not to advance, but
if possible to equalize wages, 80 that one
river coal operator would not be Obliged to
pay more for pilots than another. 1t is pro-
posed to have uniform rates and thereby, il
possible, place the operators all on the

Dispute with GAINESVILLE.
The following letter has been received ID
this city, and will be duly presented at the
coming meeting of the Ohio Base Ball
League, when action will be taken in regard
70 the DISPUTED GAINESVILLE Wheeling game:
MANSFIELD, o., August %.
T. C. Nicholson, Manager Wheeling b. b. q.
DEAR SIR:-The following is q copy OF
nv letter and statement to President Voc,
gele concerning the game forfeited to
GAINESVILLE on May Both:
MANSFIELD, o., August 81.
C. n. TOegele, President D. b. B. L.:
DEAR SIR:-This is to certify that |,
while acting as umpire, did declare a game
against the Wheeling club, 9 to D, at
GAINESVILLE, May Both. Wheeling refused
to play when l ordered them to, claiming
that it still continued 70 rain. This
will admit, but the rule governing this
case is very plain, and states emphatlcally
that the umpire cannot stop or call a game
ION account of an ordinary rain.' The
rain in question Yves 2 very light drizzling
one.
The ground / had nothing TO do with.
Welsh was the boss, and took advantage
of the situation accordingly. did say al
the time, and still say, that the grounds
were tar from being 1T to play ball on.
also said that if l had mig way, there
would be no playing that afternoon. The
infeld wa simply horrible. Ii was impOS'
sible foF q nan to stand squarely on his
feet and hit ut pitched ball, being com,
PEELED TO stand in mud. Welsh saw thai
he could win q game at my expense, snC
did so, but it was as dirty a game Of bal
as was ever won. 1 was made to shoulder
all the blame by Moore going to Wheeling
and telling the peopleit was McDermott';
fault" This stoEy of MOore's | stamp a
a lie, and let me say IN closing that !
there is any favor TO be shown, thinE
Wheeling should get it, for she was Ger
tainly iapoSed upon by Welsh and MOOr'
on the afternoon Of May 30th.

AN OLD CAST,
OF Decided Interest to River Men,
Revived.

OF Decided Interest to River Men,
Revived.
The recent visits OF Col. James Andrews,
the builder of the Panhandle railroad
bridge across the Ohio here, have been in
connection with a suit in the Pittsburg
courts which recalls old days, when coal
was flOated down the river in fatboats.
The action is brought by Thomas Fawcett,
the coal operator, against Colonel Andrews,
to recover for the loss of two boats loaded
with coal, which were sunk in 1862 by
running foul Of the bridge pier. The suit
was instituted in 1865, to recover So, 600
with interest. The latter item will triple
the original sum asked for if the plaintiff
wins the suit. The suit has met with
several set backs. At the first trial, in
1865, the jury disagreed and the
case was replaced on the trial
list. II was taken up again in 1881
and was in progress when the Court House
burned down, which caused another sus-
pension, the Judge and jury finding the
court room in ashes when they returned
on the Monday morning after the fire to
continue the case. Nothing further was
done in the case until yesterday, when,
after a lapse of % years from the COM
mencement of the suit, it WAS again called
up, with the wish of all parties that the
case would be finally determined. One
reason for the frequent pOstpOnement of
the case was that it has been very difficult
to get the witnesses, who are all river men,
in Pittsburg Mt one time. When the river
was high the witnesses were going down
the river with their fleets, and when it was
low there was always some important wit
ness waiting at a Southern port for enough
water TO get back. The present long-con-
tinued low water has resulted in the wit
nesses all being in Pittsburg. -S teabeRriNe
